The 1969 Arlo Guthrie movie Alice's Restaurant has a scene suggesting that Teeny Boppers were underaged girls who would go around trying to sleep with multiple big name music acts. Collecting names and artifacts.
Both Teenybopper and Teeny Bopper are used within this article. We need to decide which to use and if it's Teeny Bopper then the page needs to be moved. They are both correct (as far as I know) but consistency would make sense. TheNad 08:13, 18 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danman111111 (talk • contribs)

I was a bit surprised when I first encountered this article; it seemed to be a mixture of inaccuracy and speculation. After some research, it was clear that I was right on the first count; for example, no source that I could find (including those cited in the article) mentioned that it was a derogatory term, and the placing of it in the late 1960s is similarly incorrect (it seems to have first appeared in the 1950s, with occasional resurgences of use since). The stuff about why girls are more likely to be teenyboppers than boys is simply original research (to be polite). I've overhauled it, and tried to leave in nothing that can't be sourced. There's more to be done, and I'll try to get back to do it some time. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps, but the same could be said of "adolescent". That a term is popularly used derogatorily doesn't make it a derogatory term (I use "politician", "journalist", and "estate agent" as terms of abuse, but...). None of the sources mentioned any sort of derogatory aspect. I suspect any derogatory sense is the result of people's attitudes to hat it refers to. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
What the heck is going on with this page? The intro has been trolled with nonsense Blitterbug (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 10:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Teen Pop is a really big genre and we need more help to improve it, particularly from young folk, because it does have subculture characteristics, also one that utilizes heavy marketing tactic, and reaps in large consolidated profits for large corporations. The Template will help a bit, but we need to consolidate the entire section, and maybe even start a portal for it so all of the editing can be centralized.--Xx kidschoice xx (talk) 20:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
This article is pretty pathetic for its importance (opinion). I'll try to help next week when I have time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.72.25.210 (talk) 21:22, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
The article needs to be rewritten because as it stands, it is heavily plagiarized/plagiaphrased from the Hall article listed in the references. This is against the Wikipedia's policies 82.170.227.121 (talk) 19:01, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Example:
Wikipedia article:
The difference that the 70s' "Teeny Bopper syndrome" had with prior idol phenomena was that these new teen idols were directed at even younger girls, down to 15 years old, who were too young to have heard The Beatles and were not attracted to the new hard rock music of the time that their elder siblings listened to.[3] This new market has a quick turnover potential and it boosted the benefits of many broadcasting companies.[3]
Hall book chapter:
...but what is significant about the Teeny Bopper syndrome of the 70's is that it was directed expressly at an even younger market i.e. ten - fifteen year old girls, too young even to have heard the Beatles, and who were certainly not turned on by the new heavy rock (ELP, Yes, Led Zeppeling or Deep Purple) which their elder brothers and sisters listened to so avidly. The attractiveness of this market with its quick turnover potential... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.170.227.121 (talk) 19:00, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
It is inaccurate that the term "teenybopper" was invented by marketing professionals and psychologists
if there is no reliable source(s) to support this claim. At best, it would be okay to say that the term was
coined by marketing professionals and psychologists. The term might have been coined by marketing
professionals and/or psychologists, so it will remain that way until someone can come up with a reliable
source to prove otherwise.
This is just a notice. I am making the edit myself. --70.120.83.126 (talk) 09:57, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
Is it a real psychology term (as it is under the "psychology" section), or is it one more Urban dictionary term that made the confusion between Wikipedia and Urban dic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:FC79:2F04:E00:ADB2 (talk) 20:49, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
To be clear, is not a term officially recognized within the modern discipline of psychology. Rather, it is a sort of pseudo terminology.4
It is my opionion that this article relies on too few references to demonstrate a wider-held view of the subject matter, particularly within the psychology and sociology disciplines. Notably, other practitioners in the field may have conflicting views and therefore relying on the same citations repeatedly is suspicious in view of NPOV. However, I am going to leave off a hat note for now. 66.90.153.184 (talk) 06:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
It already has a template that "This section is written like a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay..." I don't even think the entire section is talking about the correct topic. It's talking about paying for club membership in groups of 4. It is talking about something completely different than teenybop. Because it's not even remotely on topic, the whole thing needs to be erased and redone.
